amazing spot :)

Constantine Psihogios

Worthwhile visit. Very informative orientation by a very knowledgeable staff. Going back in time was very eye opening. A must visit for everyone.

Patrick McNeill

This was a pleasant surprise. We had some time to kill and decided to check out this mansion. The furniture is pretty much as impressive as the house. The ceilings in some of the rooms, and the staircase, are amazing. The stories about the family were interesting, as well as the exhibit on the maids that lived and worked there. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

Basir Khan

Brian Barnes

This is an excellent Manor built in the late 1800's. It is constantly being restored and is a pleasure to visit. They host many events from tours to school trips, afternoon tea. Please take the time and visit this beautiful home.

Mr. Maximilian

I love Glanmore house the place is old but beautifully kept inside and outside I've only been inside once or twice but it's beautiful the employees do a great job. I hear it could be haunted and honestly i think a haunted glanmore tour around Halloween could be really fun and they could make a lot of money from it. So I'd give it a 5 star rating truly a beautiful place and worth a visit.

Bohdan Fedirko

Great place to take your 2 1/2 year old granddaughter to hunt for ghosts!

Mélanie Macé

Nice personnal, very beautiful house. But vert short (1 hours and we take ours time ) and little expensive for this. 8$/pp

Ted C

Was in Belleville with a friend and checked out Doors Open Belleville. Was great to see!

Greg Jankowski

Very worthwhile historical tourist attraction - with a surprisingly large floor space of meticulously maintained original and replicated furnishings. If you like history and museums, you'll find yourself intrigued by the originality and intricate detail put into the historically accurate renovations. The staff is VERY knowledgeable about all aspects of the estate, from design and typical use of the many areas of the house for entertaining to architectural features. None of my questions (often relating to very specific aspects) were left unanswered. This is a hidden gem that took me by surprise, as I expected that there would be far less to experience considering only hearing about it in 2016.

Sebastian Kluth

Glanmore National Historic Site is an elegant and beautifully exhibited historic high-society building that takes about half an hour to visit. Staff is friendly and helpful. Parking spots are slightly limited.

Laurel

Fun experience! Super interesting if you're into history and the little plaques give a lot of context. Bring a sweater because it's a little chilly. Staff are all very helpful.

Derek Frohlich

Super fun, great staff! If you haven't been go, go now!

Beautiful location. Stunning architecture and design, and the restoration is incredible. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the history and the details, and were able to answer every question about the house, the history of it, and the restoration steps. Well worth a visit for people who enjoy this sort of attraction.

(Translated) Such a beautiful building. All attempts to bring him back to his original situation have been successful. The roof is wonderful, the interior finishes are breathtaking, they are so splendid. The quality of the details, extraordinary !! Our guide was very cheerful, captivated by his material and perfectly knew how to share his passion with us !! Perfect! (Original) Tellement un bel édifice. Toutes les tentatives de le ramener à sa situation initiale ont été fructueuses. La toiture est merveilleuse, les finitions intérieures sont à couper le souffle tellement elles sont splendides.

This is a fascinating historic house. The hand painted ceilings are beautiful. The European art work is not at all what you would expect to find in a smaller community like Belleville.

Julie Ferland

Beautiful all decorated for Christmas

Karen Bender

As first time visitors to Belleville, this was on my list of places to visit. From the outside the mansion is impressive. We visited towards the end of November so inside Glanmore, it is decorated for a Victorian Christmas! As if the year round display wasn't enough having the Christmas elements incorporated was just lovely. We couldn't believe the treasures within, and the way they were displayed. The volunteer and curator were a wealth of information and so happy to share stories and history with us. We were told about the display showing the history of the Belleville Fire Department at the Firehall, so we went to visit that as well. Don't miss visiting Glanmore when you are here!
